A quick Google search or search here in the WordPress Stack Exchange would have revealed the answer - it's no longer used by WordPress core.– MatCommented Apr 14, 2018 at 23:11

The user_status column in the wp_users table is no longer used by WordPress core - it just hasn't been removed. It may, or may not be used in the future. Best to leave it alone...

Well, for 'active', 'inactive' and 'pending activation', I believe...– MatCommented Apr 14, 2018 at 23:15

1The other answer says that this column is used by WordPress core. How do you know that it is not used?– FlimmCommented Feb 9, 2023 at 17:10

@Flimm - The function that Syed linked to is deprecated. If you read the top of the page in the link they provided it clearly states: "This function has been deprecated. Use wp_update_user() instead." and also states: "Deprecated as of 3.0.2 and should not be used" As per my original answer, the column is still in the user database table, but it's no longer used by WordPress - they just haven't removed it from the DB. It may, or may not be used again in the future. But, for now, it's not used.– MatCommented Mar 14, 2023 at 13:30
It is used to update the status of a user in the database. Used in core to mark a user as spam or "ham" (not spam) on multisite installs.
Status 0 is Ham
Status 1 is Spam
Again, this will not work on single site installs.

Downvoted as the answer refers to a function that is deprecated. "Deprecated as of 3.0.2 and should not be used."– MatCommented Mar 14, 2023 at 13:33

@Mat make_ham_user hook and user status column in db is still used in current version. Also many websites still running on php 5 and old wp they are depreciated for newer versions only click the shared link and read the docs 4th argument of the function $deprecated is added as of v3.0.2... func itself got depreciated in v5.3.0 Commented Mar 22, 2023 at 19:28
